IMO Miz is really boring at ring and that's why he is always stuck at midcard and probably will be there for the rest of his carreer
But he's amazing at mic, the best of the company at the moment

In other news, and hold your shock, Lance Storm hated the Orton burning the cabin down angle (so did Callis)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhTv-TacoLQ
That said check out at the end, at least he gets why they did it and what the story is. I have zero issue with folks not liking a story, I take huge issue with wrestling analysts (and fans) not paying attention and thus not understanding the story and then blaming WWE for it all. This is why I enjoy Lance Storm even when I think he's wrong, he pays attention and argues his point well accordingly well except when he's talking about libraries
And their name would be:
Mizery!

I'm about to suggest some ridiculous bullshit.
If DB is intent on wrestling again, then could it be that his injuries are not as severe as people assume? Maybe that WWE, while eager to have him in a non-wrestling role so they can enjoy his popularity and amiable on-screen persona, are also happy to have him removed from their in-ring storylines and therefore to dissolve the audience's focus on him when they are trying to get other performers over whom they think are better suited to go on billboards and talk shows, etc?
I'm sure it would be safer for him to never wrestle again, but that's something which is always true for everybody. It might be that he isn't one suplex away from a vegetative state...but maybe the WWE is happy to have him under contract and out of the ring. Meanwhile, DB will take the money and do his best at the job he has, while biding his time for when he can go elsewhere and do what he likes to do.

Read what I said again and you'll see I didn' t say someone did
I said there are so many exaggerated praises that it gives me that impression, specially back when he cut his first promo in talking smack (the one about how he's always present).

No.
The issue is that brain injuries are still not especially well understood and wwf doesn't want lawsuits and bad press when there's a chance he may have a serious problem. And he may have a serious problem, we just don't know because the science isn't there yet.

Bryan's situation is weird. I thought he got cleared by a bunch of external doctors but WWE doctors denied him, then they did a newer run of tests on him and found a lesion or something on his brain and he admitted to having seizures after taking head bumps and stuff like that and freaked out about performing.

But those were great promos and treated as such... this implication of super greatness beyond all previous definitions of greatness is entirely your creation. Many folks just simply like Miz's promos there's nothing exaggerated about that.

I guess that's where we're not meeting eye to eye. To me, the promo was good and praised as amazing. This is just a matter of opinion, many have the opinion he is great (like you for example), and that is precisely why it is overrated, to me. I just don't feel the same way.
KO is my #1 and even then I don't think his promos deserve the level of praise Miz's get.

Axel and Dallas aren't doing anything. Send them down to SD and make them Miz's hired muscle

There's a huge difference between
1) People like a thing and I don't and
2)The People liking a thing means they are saying that that thing is 5000 times better than this other thing.
That said you said more #2 first and I was a wee bit hostile so my apologies on that

uuuugh PROGRESS have been changing some entrance themes and are looking for more
I cared less when Rev Pro did it cause it's rev pro, but that's such a part of the progress feel

i hope not

at least they don't seem to be commissioning garbage themes like rev pro

Oh my GOD those are horrific
They should probably just comission the guy who does the 5* Wrestling Themes. That Spike TV special had decent themes and then there's this gold

I said both 1 and 2. 1) I don't agree that it is as good as some make it out to be, so 2) the praises are exaggerated as far as my opinion goes. It's subjective.
I guess you thought I was passing my opinion as objective, if so, it's understandable that you called me out.
No worries, all good.

I want Cena/Nikki to win and then for Cena to get on one knee only to have Miz Daniel Bryan kick his head off, while Maryse holds Nikki back, and leave doing the Yes taunt.
Imagine the nuclear heat if Bryan turned heel and teamed with Miz over this move

C'mon now. Promos are like punches: everyone in wrestling was better at them pre-1990.
Think I might need a DDT universe sub

The site still needs a lot of work. When I checked a couple of weeks ago they still need to upload a LOT of stuff too.

Heh Miz starts DB kicking Cena and all of a sudden Bryan's music hits and he comes down with a mic saing :That's enough, Miz that's enough", Bryan gets in the ring "This is how you do it" and kicks Cena's head off.
I mean horrible business decision but would be a spectacle.

I enjoyed watching it, but there was only something like 3 matches.
You should definitely watch Talking Smack, at least.

Orton vs AJ is good.
Cena/Nikk Miz/Maryse stuff was good
That's basically it...
Smackdown Women had a horrible segment and a mediocre tag match, and the opening segment was crap.
So watch those two segments (or skip Miz i if you don't like his promos) and screw the rest
Bliss on Talking Smack did better at selling her Mania match than the segment they put her in on Smackdown did. So yeah
With the exception of Orton/AJ Talking Smack was the better show lol
